Golf Places Second At Georgia Mountain Invitational
Three top-twelve finishes helped lead the Brenau golf team to a second place finish at the Georgia Mountain Invitational hosted by Truett McConnell College at Innsbruck Golf Club in Helen, Ga. on Tuesday.
The team shot a 338 in the final round-eight strokes lower than their first round total of 346- to clinch second place.
Morgan Wood posted an 81-79-160 to lead the Golden Tigers and secure an overall tie for second place. Teammate Sara Jane Bowers also placed in the top ten, firing an 83-80-163 to take fourth overall, while Megan Reddick shot 88-86-174 to place tied for 11th. Both Wood and Morgan were named to the All-Tournament team for their strong finishes.
Amber Clayton (94-102-196) and LaKese Brown (107-93-200) placed tied for 31st and 36th respectively.
"We struggled a bit the first day, but the ladies were able to bounce back on Tuesday and move into solo second place," said head coach Damon Stancil. "Innsbruck is a tough course that puts a premium on ball striking. I felt the team did a much better job on day two of staying focused and grinding out pars."
Point (Ga.) University won the match with a team total of 684, while host Truett McConnell placed third with a team score of 693.
Brenau next completes in the UNG/Lee Ann Noble Memorial in Dahlonega, Ga. on Saturday.
